Celebrations! The students from the Restorative Justice Center on campus conducted a community building event for all of our 6th graders last Tuesday. They spent 4 hours in the gym working in small and large groups with our 90 sixth graders. The event was student planned and facilitated with amazing success. This was a wonderful example of the Encinal Family in action. A special thanks to our student leaders who facilitated the event: Rashanna Turner, Lauryn Talmadge, Carina Coppock, Emily Robles, Isheba Smith, Jake Cuenca, Darla Kahl, Annmarie Velasquez, Luis Booth, Sarah Skaff, Soriah Boardman, Hayden Demmon, Lily Conable, Joyce Guo, Noah Meeks and Andre Gaskin.
Go Jets!!
